- a therapeutic concentration will be that concentration which effects reduction of the particular condition, or retards its expansion.
- the drug potentially could be used in a prophylactic manner to prevent onset of a particular condition.
- a given therapeutic concentration will vary from condition to condition and in certain instances may vary with the severity of the condition being treated and the patient's susceptibility to treatment. Accordingly, a given therapeutic concentration will be best determined at the time and place through routine experimentation.
- a formulation containing between 0.001 and 5 percent by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 3% will usually constitute a therapeutically effective concentration. If administered systemically, an amount between 0.001 and 50 mg per kg, preferably between 0.001 and 10 mg per kg body weight per day, but most preferably about 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg, will effect a therapeutic result in most instances.

This mixture was stirred for 35 m before cooling to -70 °C. A solution of ( R )-(+)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-4a-methyl-2(3 H )-naphthalenone ( 1 ) (1.0 g, 6.09 mmol) in 15 mL of ether was added via syringe.
- the imidazole was purified further by stirring in THF or MeOH with an equimolar amount of fumaric acid at rt for 10 m. The solvent was removed and the salt recrystallized by dilution in THF and tituration with ether:hexanes for a 70-80% recovery of pure fumarate 4 (S).
- the unsaturated imidazole 1 (1.02 g, 5.81 mmol) in MeOH (40 ml) containing palladium (10 wt. % on activated carbon) (0.15 g) was hydrogenated at 1 atmosphere pressure of H 2 . After 16 h the palladium was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated at reduced pressure. The imidazole was recrystallized by stirring in MeOH with an equimolar amount of fumaric acid until all solids had disappeared followed by the addition of a small amount of diethyl ether and cold storage. The title compound 2 (V) 0.80 g (48%) was recovered as white crystals.

(1995) "High throughput assays of cloned adrenergic, muscarinic, neurokinin and neurotrophin receptors in living mammalian cells", Pharmacol. Toxicol. 76 :308-11 and adapted for use with alpha 2 receptors.
- the assay measures a receptor-mediated loss of contact inhibition that results in selective proliferation of receptor-containing cells in a mixed population of confluent cells.
- the increase in cell number is assessed with an appropriate transfected marker gene such as b-galactosidase, the activity of which can be easily measured in a 96-well format.
- G q Receptors that activate the G protein, G q , elicit this response.
- Alpha 2 receptors which normally couple to G i , activate the RSAT response when coexpressed with a hybrid Gq protein that has a G i receptor recognition domain, called G q/i5 2 .

- NIH-3T3 cells are plated at a density of 2x10 6 cells in 15 cm dishes and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% calf serum. One day later, cells are cotransfected by calcium phosphate precipitation with mammalian expression plasmids encoding p-SV-b-galactosidase (5-10 mg), receptor (1-2 mg) and G protein (1-2 mg). 40 mg salmon sperm DNA may also be included in the transfection mixture. Fresh media is added on the following day and 1-2 days later, cells are harvested and frozen in 50 assay aliquots.
- b-galactosidase enzyme activity is determined by adding 200 ml of the chromogenic substrate (consisting of 3.5 mM o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactopyranoside and 0.5% nonidet P-40 in phosphate buffered saline), incubating overnight at 30° and measuring optical density at 420 nm.
- the absorbence is a measure of enzyme activity, which depends on cell number and reflects a receptor-mediated cell proliferation.
- the EC 50 and maximal effect of each drug at each alpha 2 receptor is determined.
- the efficacy or intrinsic activity is calculated as a ratio of the maximal effect of the drug to the maximal effect of a standard full agonist for each receptor subtype.
- Brimonidine also called UK14,304-18, is used as the standard agonist for the alpha 2A and alpha 2C receptors.
- Oxymetazoline is the standard agonist used for the alpha 2B receptor.
- Table 1 provides the intrinsic activity values at subtypes of the ⁇ 2-adrenoreceptor as determined in the RSAT assay for the compounds of above Examples S to X-3 and certain adrenergic compounds not having selective agonist activity at the ⁇ 2B or ⁇ 2B / ⁇ 2C subtype(s).
- the compounds of the Examples are inactive or exhibit low efficacy ( ⁇ 0.4). They have greater efficacy at the ⁇ 2B and the ⁇ 2C- subtypes than the ⁇ 2A-subtype.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention is directed to a method of treating glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure and other diseases with substantially reduced cardiovascular or sedative side effects by administering to mammals including humans, compounds which are selective agonists of the α2B alone or α2B and α2C adrenergic receptor subtypes and which lack substantial activity at the α2A receptor subtype. The present invention is also directed to novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions adapted for administering said compounds to mammals, including humans.
- Compounds which have adrenergic activity are well known in the art, and are described in numerous United States and foreign patents and in scientific publications. It is generally known and accepted in the art that adrenergic activity is useful for treating animals of the mammalian species, including humans, for curing or alleviating the symptoms and conditions of numerous diseases and conditions. In other words, it is generally accepted in the art that pharmaceutical compositions having an adrenergic compound or compounds as the active ingredient are useful for treating glaucoma, chronic pain, nasal congestion, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and inducing anesthesia.
- The two main families of adrenergic receptor are termed alpha adrenergic receptors and beta adrenergic receptors in the art, and each of these two families is known to have subtypes, which are designated by letters of the alphabet, such as α2A, α2B. See the article by Bylund et al, Pharmacol Rev. 46, pp. 121-136(1994).
- It has been discovered in accordance with the present invention that adrenergic compounds which act selectively, and preferably even specifically as agonists of the α2B or α2B / α2C (hereinafter referred to as α2B or α2B/2C) receptor subtypes in preference over the α2A receptor subtype, possess desirable therapeutic properties associated with adrenergics but without having one or more undesirable side effects such as changes in blood pressure or sedation. For the purposes of the present invention, a compound is defined to be a specific or at least selective agonist of the α2B or α2B/2C receptor subtype(s) if the compound is at least approximately ten times more potent as an agonist at either the α2B and α2C or both receptor subtypes than at the α2A receptor subtype, or if the difference in the compound's efficacy at the α2B and α2B/2C receptor relative to the α2A receptor is greater than 0.3 and its efficacy at the α2A receptor is ≤ 0.4.
- Accordingly, the present invention relates to methods of treating animals of the mammalian species, including humans, with a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more specific or selective α2B or α2B/2C adrenergic agonist compounds as the active ingredient, for treatment of the many diseases or conditions against which alpha adrenergic compounds are useful, including without limitation glaucoma, reducing elevated intraocular pressure, chronic pain, diarrhea, and nasal congestion. In addition, the compounds of this invention are useful for treating muscle spasticity including hyperactive micturition, diarrhea, diuresis, withdrawal syndromes, pain including neuropathic pain, neurodegenerative diseases including optic neuropathy, spinal ischemia and stroke, memory and cognition deficits, attention deficit disorder, psychoses including manic disorders, anxiety, depression, hypertension, congestive heart failure, cardiac ischemia and nasal congestion.
- The present invention is also directed to the pharmaceutical compositions used in the above-noted methods of treatment.
- The present invention particularly covers methods for treating diseases and conditions where adrenergic compounds are effective for treatment, but their use is limited because of their generally known side effects.
- Compounds which are used in the pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of the present invention are selective or specific agonists of the α2B or α2B/2C adrenergic receptor subtypes, in preference over the α2A receptor subtype. In accordance with the present invention, a compound is considered a selective α2B or α2B/2C agonist if that compound's difference in efficacy as an agonist of the α2B or α2B/2C receptor subtype(s) compared to the α2A receptor subtype is greater than 0.3 and its efficacy at the α2A receptor subtype is ≤ 0.4 and/or it is at least approximately 10 times more potent. Preferably, the compounds utilized in accordance with the present invention are specific agonists of the α2B or α2B/2C receptor subtypes. Specifically, in this regard, a specific agonist is defined in the sense that a specific α adrenergic agonist does not act as an agonist of the α2A receptor subtype to any measurable or biologically significant extent.
- A set of agents has been discovered that are functionally selective for the α2B or α2B/2C - subtypes of said adrenergic receptors. This preferential activity can be determined in a variety of functional assays such as Cyclic AMP Production, Shimizu et al, J. Neurochem. 16, pp. 1609-1619 (1969); R-SAT (Receptor Selection and Amplification Technology), Messier et al, Pharmacol. Toxicol. 76, pp. 308-311(1995) and the Cytosensor microphysiometer, Neve et al, J. Biol. Chem. 267, pp. 25748-25753, (1992) using cells that naturally express individual subtypes or have had one of the subtypes introduced. The cells or recombinant receptors used should be human or from a species that has been shown to have a similar pharmacology. In the study below, the RSAT assay on cells that have been transiently transfected with the human α2A (c10 gene), rat α2B (RNG gene) and human α2C (c4 gene) receptors was used. The rat α2B receptor has been shown to have a pharmacology that corresponds to the human α2B receptor (see, for example, Bylund et al., Pharmocol, Rev. 46, pp. 127-129(1994)).
- In the treatment of glaucoma, particularly, topical administration may be used. Any common topical formulation such as a solution, suspension, gel, ointment, or salve and the like may be applied to the eye in glaucoma and dermally to treat other indications. Preparation of such topical formulations are well described in the art of pharmaceutical formulations as exemplified, for example, by Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, Edition 17, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania.
- If the drug is to be administered systemically, it may be confected as a powder, pill, tablet or the like or as a syrup or elixir for oral administration. For intravenous, intraperitoneal, intrathecal or epidural administration, the compound will be prepared as a solution or suspension capable of being administered by injection. In certain cases, it may be useful to formulate these compounds in suppository or as an extended release formulation, including the dermal patch form, for deposit on or under the skin or for intramuscular injection.
- Treatment of glaucoma or any other indications known or discovered to be susceptible to treatment by adrenergic compounds will be effected by administration of therapeutically effective dose of one or more compounds in accordance with the instant invention. A therapeutic concentration will be that concentration which effects reduction of the particular condition, or retards its expansion. In certain instances, the drug potentially could be used in a prophylactic manner to prevent onset of a particular condition. A given therapeutic concentration will vary from condition to condition and in certain instances may vary with the severity of the condition being treated and the patient's susceptibility to treatment. Accordingly, a given therapeutic concentration will be best determined at the time and place through routine experimentation. However, it is anticipated that in the treatment of, for example, glaucoma, that a formulation containing between 0.001 and 5 percent by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 3% will usually constitute a therapeutically effective concentration. If administered systemically, an amount between 0.001 and 50 mg per kg, preferably between 0.001 and 10 mg per kg body weight per day, but most preferably about 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg, will effect a therapeutic result in most instances.
- Because the α2B and α2B/2C specific selective agonist compounds lack substantial α2A side effects, treatments of diseases or conditions with such compounds in accordance with the present invention is advantageous, particularly when the treatment is directed to a human having cardiovascular problems.
- The general structures of exemplary specific α2B and α2C agonist or selective α2B and α2B/2C agonist adrenergic compounds which are used in the pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of the present invention are provided by general formulas.
- In the following the synthesis of the claimed compounds is illustrated

This was warmed to rt after 30 m and allowed to react at rt for 1 h. Dry MeOH (3.75 mL, 15.0 mmol as a 4.0 M soln in THF) was added to a stirred solution of LiAlH4 (5.04 mL, 5.04 mmol, 1.0 M in ether) to form LiAlH(OMe)3. The borane was added to this alkoxy aluminum hydride via syringe. After 10 m at rt, carbon monoxide was bubbled through the solution for 20 m. Phosphate buffer (25 mL, pH 7.0 was added followed by H2O2 (10 mL, 30% soln) and this was stirred for 30 m. After a typical extraction process the oil was purified by chromatography on SiO2 with 5 to 10% EtOAc:Hx to yield the colorless aldehyde 3 as the major product 455 mg, (51%).

The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in MeOH saturated with NH3 (10 mL). The solution was heated in a resealable tube at 110°C for 6-12 h. The material was concentrated and purified by chromatography on SiO2 with 5% MeOH (sat. w/ NH3) :CH2Cl2 to give the imidazole as a thick glass 193 mg (36%).
- The imidazole was purified further by stirring in THF or MeOH with an equimolar amount of fumaric acid at rt for 10 m. The solvent was removed and the salt recrystallized by dilution in THF and tituration with ether:hexanes for a 70-80% recovery of pure fumarate 4 (S).

- A method for measuring α-agonist selectivity comprises the RSAT (Receptor Selection and Amplification Technology) assay as reported in Messier et al. (1995) "High throughput assays of cloned adrenergic, muscarinic, neurokinin and neurotrophin receptors in living mammalian cells", Pharmacol. Toxicol. 76:308-11 and adapted for use with alpha2 receptors. The assay measures a receptor-mediated loss of contact inhibition that results in selective proliferation of receptor-containing cells in a mixed population of confluent cells. The increase in cell number is assessed with an appropriate transfected marker gene such as b-galactosidase, the activity of which can be easily measured in a 96-well format. Receptors that activate the G protein, Gq, elicit this response. Alpha2 receptors, which normally couple to Gi, activate the RSAT response when coexpressed with a hybrid Gq protein that has a Gi receptor recognition domain, called Gq/i5 2. See Conklin et al. (1993) "Substitution of three amino acids switches receptor specificity of Gqa to that of Gia ." Nature 363:274-6.
- NIH-3T3 cells are plated at a density of 2x106 cells in 15 cm dishes and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% calf serum. One day later, cells are cotransfected by calcium phosphate precipitation with mammalian expression plasmids encoding p-SV-b-galactosidase (5-10 mg), receptor (1-2 mg) and G protein (1-2 mg). 40 mg salmon sperm DNA may also be included in the transfection mixture. Fresh media is added on the following day and 1-2 days later, cells are harvested and frozen in 50 assay aliquots. Cells are thawed and 100 ml added to 100 ml aliquots of various concentrations of drugs in triplicate in 96-well dishes. Incubations continue 72-96 hr at 37°. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline, b-galactosidase enzyme activity is determined by adding 200 ml of the chromogenic substrate (consisting of 3.5 mM o-nitrophenyl-b-D-galactopyranoside and 0.5% nonidet P-40 in phosphate buffered saline), incubating overnight at 30° and measuring optical density at 420 nm. The absorbence is a measure of enzyme activity, which depends on cell number and reflects a receptor-mediated cell proliferation. The EC50 and maximal effect of each drug at each alpha2 receptor is determined. The efficacy or intrinsic activity is calculated as a ratio of the maximal effect of the drug to the maximal effect of a standard full agonist for each receptor subtype. Brimonidine, also called UK14,304-18, is used as the standard agonist for the alpha2A and alpha2C receptors. Oxymetazoline is the standard agonist used for the alpha2B receptor.
- Table 1, below, provides the intrinsic activity values at subtypes of the α2-adrenoreceptor as determined in the RSAT assay for the compounds of above Examples S to X-3 and certain adrenergic compounds not having selective agonist activity at the α2B or α2B /α2C subtype(s). At the α2A subtype, the compounds of the Examples are inactive or exhibit low efficacy (≤0.4). They have greater efficacy at the α2B and the α2C- subtypes than the α2A-subtype. Therefore, unlike ophthalmic α2-adrenoreceptor compounds such as clonidine and brimonidine, the compounds of Examples B through X can selectively activate α2-adrenoreceptor subtypes other than the α2A-subtype.
